Our Sisters

School Sisters of Notre Dame continue to live the vision of Foundress Blessed Theresa Gerhardinger in a variety of ways. Below our Sisters share stories of their work and ministry.

We go forth daily in the spirit of Mother Theresa, remembering her words: "Poor and abandoned, we began the work of God in supernatural faith and confidence... let us continue to serve the Triune God all our Lives with Joy."

Sisters in the News

Sister Missy Gugerty SSND
With great fondness, I periodically think about Assembly Weekends in the former Baltimore Province when I was a postulant in the mid-1980s and we had an SSND version of "Saturday Night Live!" I've been imagining how wonderful it might be to experience again such engagement and stimulation at this...
Our Sisters in Canada are embracing a particular bittersweet reality as we let go of our former Canadian Province Motherhouse. As long as we have been futuring that reality, uppermost in our hearts has been the question, “What will happen to our cemetery?"
Sister Marie Dolores
Sister Marie Dolores is one of 11 siblings born in Buffalo, N.Y. Of the 11, Sister Marie Dolores, four of her sisters, and one brother entered religious life, with all five sisters becoming SSNDs!
